My landlord won't give my bond back - what do i do?
i moved into a flat and signed a one month rolling contract. i briefly said in an emial to th manager of the property that 'at this stage i think i will stay around 3 -6 months' as she asked how long i thought i would stay. they are now trying to tell me that i am legally obliged to stay for at least 3 months and wouldn't accept my one month's notice. they won't give my bond back. is the email legally binding even though it was conversational and the contract that i actually SIGNED was a one month rolling contract?

TAKE HIS *** TO COURT. AS LONG AS THE PROPERTY
IS IN THE SAME CONDITION IT WAS RENTED OUT IN IT SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM.

Go to the small court's claim.... I won when my landlord wouldn't give me the deposit back because of a whole lot of BS that he wanted me to pay and it was his liability. Just show your contract to the chairman and said you only said from 3 to 6 mths because she wanted an answer but you never really meant 100% that it was going to be sure. You got a case.


Goofy Goofer Goof Goof Goof !
I know lots of people who have lived in rented accomodation and not a single one has ever got a deposit back. Good luck.

They are both legally binding.I would go to citizens advice for advice.

if the landlord is being **** about it,do what we did many years ago,we where owed 250pounds,after many phone calls and many lies,we caused over 2000 pounds worth off damage too his place and gave the keys too some homless lads who hung around the area,the landlord was not impressed,i bet he wishes he gave our depoist back!would have been so much cheaper!!did he find us!!NO!!goodluck!!

contact the local city hall. Lease disputes are usually handled by some department there.They will advise you of your rights and may get involved if the landlord is acting in a manner contrary to the law or local regulations.

Buy as many fish (dead ones from fishmonger) as you can and place them under the floorboards in every room and as many original hiding places as you can a few days before you leave. Leave a message 'what goes around comes around' and learn from the experience. The place should be stinking in a week costing them a fortune in lost rentals and cleaning and looking for source of smell.

the bottom line is (and this will stand in a court of law) the contract you signed is the contact you agreed to, any alterations to that contract without your consent are illegal, a new contract wrote up and inclusive of the changes had to be presented to you and you have to re-sign.


yiannis the greek
No money back I'm afraid.
but at least you can make him him pay that in maintenance.
buy some shrimps and unscrew the wall sockets(turn off the power)put 2-3 shrimps in the socket box and screw it back.they will never find out where the smell is coming from.
also you can put some in the curtains rails between the hooks.the house will be smell free after 6 months .

What country are you in?

although rules will vary, I suggest strongly you are in the right - if in the UK a call to the CAB might be useful though a rolling contract in the UK is most unusual. We tend to be AST's.

Give a bit more info please, it wil make it easier for folks to help

Best way I've ever found in rented accomm. is give your months notice on the day you pay your rent. Don't pay him this month - just hand in your notice. Tell him your deposit/bond is the last month's rent. He cannot legally kick you out, as he has to give a month's notice anyway. Arrange to leave the last day before the next rent would be due. Therefore you are both all square.
I have done this several times without bother. You just have to be a bit stubborn when you tell them.


dontblamemeivoted
If they wont give you your last months rent back, or your security deposit.. I'd just make damn sure I did that much worth of money in damage. Nothing more nothing less. Then don't use them as a reference. Why pay court costs.
